when a piece of potassium metal is placed in water a violent reaction occurs. when copper metal is placed in water nothing happens. Is this a physical or chemical property of the metal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Chemical Reaction

Explanation:

Copper is a transitional metal, meaning it is much more stable chemically than potassium. Potassium is considered an Alkaline Earth metal meaning it is very unstable and reacts violently. I'm not sure how in depth you have to go but this is just the surface of the explanation.
